Any news here …? 
I’m preparing an update to be posted by the end of this week with upcoming steps for the app. It is not going to be a release yet, but it is getting closer.

Good news…
Update on the current state of the project and the future steps.
The development for the new version of the app has started a bit over 6 months ago. I have to admit, it has been going along slower than originally anticipated for multitude of reasons, both technical and external.
Even though this new version is a continuation of original Project Rotini idea, it is a brand new application that was started from scratch from technical perspective. As with any small startup project, the first version had large amount of technical debt that would need to be addressed sooner rather than later, so I took the opportunity to improve on a lot of solutions for the new version.
That should pay off in future and allow some cool new features without additional significant application rework. A lot ground work to support future iOS version and central configuration were included in that.
Now to the future steps.
Currently most of the application internals for basic functionality are complete. Home Assistant and OpenHAB platforms are fully integrated. Some UI pieces are still in development that are a must before first preview release. To get it out as early as possible, I’ve decided to have preview releases that will have missing functionality but will allow certain number of willing users to get the idea and start playing around with the app. It has been a long road, so this should be an exciting milestone for the project.
First preview release for Android is targeted for the beginning of June. At the same time, new community will be open for general discussions, feature requests and support.
Additional details regarding full beta roll out and final release will be posted around that time as well.

thanks foir those great news I would like being beta tester
almost JUNE! … Looking forward for news
This sounds great!! Count me in for beta testing if you need it. Ive been trying to use KWLP and its not bad but a full blown app would work so much better!!! Would you happen to know what version of android will be required. 5.0+ … or 6.0+
I’d be in for testing as well. Do you have an idea already how much the final app might cost?
Already news here or even screenshots?
After I announced a new direction and vision for Project Rotini, I was very excited about it and, in the last half year, have been working hard to bring this idea to life.
Today, I have to be honest with all my users though. After rewriting the application from scratch with a new technology and planning ahead for different integrations, it became obvious that there are more nuances to account for than I anticipated.
I’m still working hard and inspired by the idea. However, because of levels of complexity as well as series of technical misfits, I have to postpone the first preview release.
I appreciate your understanding and patience and hope to deliver Project Rotini within several months.
P.S. I have added some screenshots (of the work in progress), as have been requested

Having moved from openhab to Hass this one app was the real blocker for me! I really hope you keep plugging away at it!
Those look so good! Please keep up the great work
I’m so sad
Waiting for Godot…
